Recruitment of Men and Women as Academics by Australian Universities.

Over, Ray; Sherwood, Cathie

Higher Education, v27 n3 p341-57 Apr 1994

A survey of 230 men and women full-time lecturers in an Australian university investigated academic recruitment practices and sources of information about academic job openings. Results, which suggest similar recruitment bases, are discussed with reference to why men have traditionally outnumbered, and continue to outnumber, women in academic positions. (Author/MSE)
